The hotel, which will be under the Cambria Hotel and Suites brand, is set to include 2,500 square feet of meeting and event space, a restaurant, fitness center and sweeping views of Downtown Los Angeles.

Located at 419 South Spring Street, the 14-story office building sits near Spring Street Park and Pershing Square.

PNK has been planning its conversion of the vacant 14-story building for more than three years. Internal demolition work began in 2016, and the entire project is expected to be completed by 2019.

Nadel Architects is designing the 122,000-square-foot project.

A joint venture – including Pacific Property Partners, Choice Hotels, Sun Holdings DTLA and Barry Beitler — is also developing another Cambria-branded hotel nearby. The 18-story building at 926 James M. Wood Boulevard will hold 247 guest rooms. It’s also expected to open in 2019. [CPE] – Natalie Hoberman
